A very religious man lived right next door to an atheist. The religious man prayed every single day and night, spending much time at church, while the atheist never even thought of such acts.
However, the atheist's had a good life. An excellent, well-payed job, and a beautiful wife, lovely, healthy, children, whereas the religious man's job was stressful and his wages were low, his wife was getting fatter every day ,and his kids were obnoxious, and non loving.
So one day, while deep into his regular prayer, he looked towards heaven and asked, "Oh God, I honour you every day, I ask your advice for every problem and confess to you my every sin. Yet my neighbour, who doesn't even believe in you and certainly never prays, seems blessed with every happiness, while I go poor and suffer many an indignity. Why is this?"
A great voice bellowed out from above, "BECAUSE HE DOESN'T BOTHER ME ALL THE TIME!"

You know what? that is actually true in real life.
the thing is, that we have to have real knowledge, and what is our purpose in religious life, that means we have to be detached from everything in this world, including family, that means this person in the jock actually is been blessed so he can not be attached to the worldly thing and to be more attach to God. The atheist is completely doom, in this material world and enjoying a insignificant ephemeral pleasure in this world of miseries.

In no case God will answer anyone like that.

That's not an Atheist joke. That's a Christian joke. This is an Atheist joke. Why wouldn't the Atheist protect himself from the aligator that was ready to eat him? Because he didn't believe it was real.

It is funny!
Moreover, it gives a lesson : Even God needs free time and space!! Too much prays, makes me suspicious....

In short,
our belief in non existent things does not create a sense of obligation in non-existent things
